The first candelabra appears to be in good condition apart from a possible repair to the marble just beneath the collar and also a crack running beneath the collar all the way down to the base which may be a filled one or it may be signs of a larger repair it is difficult to say, the upper section has a crack all the way around so it may well be a repair, the ormolu on this example is good with some small casting faults here and there, the main one being towards the base of one of the branches, the second example again may have been repaired or it may just be natural faults in the marble below the collar, the ormolu base is good, one of the branches has had a poor repair which has also damaged the gilded finish.
